I recently tried to figure out how to transfer some GBP in to a crypto asset and couldn't find a way to do so without losing 3% or more. Direct GBP pairings didn't exist, so choices were either go through a USD denominated service or through multiple pairings, losing a high % each time and/or gas fees in uniswap etc. None of the forex efficient services like Wise or Revolut will wire money to US crypto exchanges. In the end I didn't bother. People really underestimate how quickly regulators can snuff out mainstream crypto.
